On AA (Eneloop Pro) batteries, E11 produces about 300 lumens for 60 minutes, while Mi7 produces about 160 lumens for 80 minutes. For the first 2-3 minutes E11 even produces 400 lumens.
I am a terrible photographer, and so I set all the parameters as indicated in the pics.
I can barely answer for my pics, can’t make judgement from pics took from other people.
Wanted a little more throw from my floody E11 so… for my first ever mod;
Using gasoline I de-domed the cool white led, now it has a warm tint… looks to be about 4500k. Have a cool white XP-L HI incoming, but kinda liking this tint.
Smoothed the reflector - green fine grit Scotch Brite pad to remove electroplating, 1200 - 4000 - 8000 grit 3M wet/dry sandpaper and a high speed drill, then Pinnacle Crystal Clear metal polished it with a Dremel.
Any way you could talk me through how to do this ? I ordered mine 3 days ago and hit the cool white by mistake rather then the NW … generally I prefer torches with more throw as well so this might sort 2 things at once … better throw and better tint???
I probably wouldn’t play with the reflector as wouldn’t have a clue what I was doing but of I could de-dome to give a tad more throw and better tint I’d probably give it a try!!!
Installed XP-L HI V2 6500K, and for better beam focus I fashioned a thin < 1mm spacer to fit under it’s reflector gasket. Now it projects a defined 11” to 12” hot spot at 10 feet.
I’m pretty happy with the result, what do you think?
I had the Klarus (it’s been gifted), wasn’t happy with it’s UI (quick click turbo) and lumen. This one is much brighter and now it throws quite a bit farther.
but there was no spare O rings I am using a sanyo lithium 3.7v 800mah battery and i am impressed with it apart from the lack of spare O rings, i have messaged the seller
Still no reply from the seller, i was going to get another Manker but this NO Response has put me off, i will buy a O Light next time, the X7 looks nice.
Well i have sent them eBay message, emailed them direct, sent blf pm and still no response, customer service seems non existent. manker more like *anker
